According to local legend, the house at 10 Main Street was built in 1771 by a man named Corbin or Corbetand used as a signal station during the Revolutionary War. The earliest verifiable owner was Jonathan Grout, a lawyer who came here about 1799 and was experimenting with the semaphore method of telegraphy developed by a Julian Corbett... For many years, it was the home of the Parsons family for whom Parsons Field is named... belchertown.org

The War of 1812 was a conflict between the United States and Great Britain, lasting from 1812 to 1815. It was primarily fueled by issues such as trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American sailors into the British Navy, and British support of Native American tribes against American expansion. The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring pre-war boundaries but resolving few of the initial disputes.Death
